She came home from her first day of middle school -
Told her mom she’d learned about math and science too
Mom said your hair doesn’t get wet -
Sitting and learning at a desk -
Mom knew she’d skipped off to the pool -
On her first day of middle school -
Like I’ve told you before,
Don’t you lie to me -
You better start remembering

Where were you on that Friday night -
We were gonna celebrate our anniversary right -
But I came home alone from the restaurant
Pulled up to the driveway
To find you kissing someone else good night -
I broke down and prayed to the Lord right there -
If only you’d start remembering -

It’s times like this, I start remembering -
The fun we’ve had just pretending,
What it’d be like when we are all grown up,
Trusting true love would be just enough -

There we were a young 75 -
Lookin back at the times we tried -
Stayin out too late at night -
Lovin each other till mornin light -

But now I look into your eyes -
You recall nothing about our lives -
You’ll go to the grave without knowing why -
I sit here knowing you’re going to die -
Not remembering how long we’ve tried -
I lay my head in my hands
And all I can do is cry -
Begging you to please start remembering…
